Rcvd an email from my insurance company telling me they released another check north of $4k to Royal Coach for hail damage on my Tahoe.
Just stopped over at Royal Coach in Bartlett to ask what else they found to constitute the extra $4k. John the guy handling all 3 of my vehicle claims is super fucking cool and all the good things I have heard about Royal Coach were confirmed from my visit. Didnt ask to see my Tahoe, but he took me in the back anyway to show me were they were at and explained everything that has been done. Then proceeded to give me the complete tour and explain to me what each section of the shop does. Insurance wanted him to put aftermarket hood, he fought for a OEM hood, then he found a ton more hail damage. Insurance claimed they couldnt see it in the pics. So he basically told them, I'm done taking pics, send someone out here, lol. Then they told him they werent paying for him to wet sand/buff the new hood and fenders that he blended. So he had to fight for that, also had to drop the sunroof and headliner to repair the roof and that was an extra, so had to fight for that. He said since they pissed him off. he went over my truck with a fine tooth comb and found damage on running boards. So now he is writing that up and those cost $1500 plus installation, lol. My Tahoe was supposed to be done 3 days ago but due to Safeco dragging their feet on getting someone out to approve the extras, it slowed him down. Which doesnt bother me none. I will keep piling miles on the 19 F150 I have for a rental, lol.
Told me he is going to fight for new hoods on both my Wifes Cherokee and my Daughters Wrangler. They both have the same amount of damage on the hoods as mine and he cant figure out why they didnt just write up new hoods. Also said he is going to go over those just as good as he did my Tahoe, so expect emails stating they are sending more money to Royal Coach.
